Egg lovers ... green up your Frittata !!!

I love eggs, I love green Vegetables so I love enjoying a Frittata for my Brunch !!!

To me Frittata is a wonderful healthy meal (as long as you love eggs, of course ;-))

It is an egg dish, almost like an omelette, but easier because it cooks in the oven.
Plus you can use almost all the veggies, cheeses, or meats that you like.

It is perfect for a light meal, served with salad on the side.

If you want a light Frittata, you can use only veggies, like me today (Zucchinis, sweet Peas, Spinaches, and Pesto), but if you prefer, you can add grilled bacon, ham, sausage .... E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G !!!!

After grilling the Veggies, you cover with the Eggs batter, and hop ... directly in the oven at 450 F.

Heat a 10'' non-stick pan (that you can put in the oven!!) with 2 tabespoons of olive oil.Saute the onions, diced zucchinis and the sweet peas. Add the garlic, salt & pepper and sage.Cook on medium/high until the veggies are tender and brown (around 5-8mn).

In a mixing bowl, beat eggs with the pesto and the cream. Add the shredded cheese and the chopped baby spinaches.Add salt and pepper to taste and beat all ingredients with a hand beater.

Pour the egg/spinach mixture in the pan over the vegetables.

Bake uncovered for 20-25mn or until you get a puffy frittata with a brown color.Serve hot with Salad.

PS: you can use boiled & grilled Potatoes, grilled Tomatoes, grilled Mushrooms, grilled Bacon, grilled Sausage, etc ... just use all the ingredients you like (and grill them before)
